Comp. is only about 3 months old. Has the latest Norton Antivirus and Webroot Spysweeper and good cookie cleaner and so on. I thought it was basically virus proof. But I have been told I have a virus and it will cost $249.00 to repair. Computer is acting haywire and I don't know where to start.
I have already reset system to a previous date but didn't help.
Any advise ?
How do I find anything out without taking it in ?

Anytime I run Nortons or the SpySweep It says no threats or viruses detected.
But the comp. is only running good for about 15min. at a time.
Until now I have never even had to re-boot before.

It might not be a virus, there may just be bad ram. Why would it cost $250 for a virus repair? It's just a nasty software. You just need to find and delete it. You could also see if your system is getting hot, that often causes crashes and software glitches. You may even have a bug in your registry. Try a registry cleaner and repair utility.

No, it now demands the OS disc to reboot through fact the homestead windows gadget information are too corupted to load, have you ever a chum or relative to be waiting to lend you a disc of homestead windows xp, they are each and each of an identical its merely the homestead windows registry key that's unique and with a bit of luck you have that caught on your netbook someplace through fact in case you may desire to do a re-deploy you will want a homestead windows reg key to change on homestead windows later for the updates etc. If no longer then you definitely would would desire to purchase yet another version of homestead windows xp featuring yet another key.

if it's gonna cost that much, i'd recommend backing up your system to an external hard drive, only about $40-$60 for a small one, then using your restore discs to set your computer back to manufacture defaults. you've only had your computer for about 3 months, so i'm guessing you still have them. even if you don't it's only $20, which way cheaper then $250.

Update your anti-virus software or reformat your computer to completely clean your system.
